The "Fat Kids" of GT4

[n1nj4ofshr3d]

"Fat Kid"-definition-unappealing, bulky, weird, doesn't belong there, etc...
I think the Lister Storm Race Car fits that description pretty well.
He's always been the weird kid in the group since GT2, when he wasn't really an official race car, just RM'd. Kinda like the Mazda 323F RM in GT1. They just don't belong in big name races, and gets made fun of cause of that. Anyone else a weird fat kid?

what are you even on about?

 

[n1nj4ofshr3d]

How in GT2, the Lister Storm wasn't an official race car in the game, just an RM'd Lister Storm V12, I realize it is a real touring car, but in the game, you can't buy it as the touring car. Also, I think it is a "fat kid."

Fat kid meaning big slow and not very usefull. RUF CTR2

 

[Skython]

Hmmm, not useful, uuuuum, Cizeta V16T???

 

[Parnelli Bone]

^ Yup, was gonna say Cizetta.

How about the big boys? The Honda Element. Land Rover Storm. Honda Odyssey! They're not totally useless, but most folks won't know how to tune & make them useful.

As far as cars go, there's the Aston Martins...any of them. Also any Jaguar except the E-type. Even the Jaguar XJ220 is sort of a fat kid in GT4, since it's not as useful to race as it was in GT2 (way too much understeer in 4).

The Stream Option Z is one in my opinion, a waste of polygons... Doesn't do anything well. Its a fat kid alright

 

[fbccars924]

The Honda Element.

You should really try my ele"mental" tune out. You will never look at the element the same. But, I do agree with you on the odessey

 

[Popeye]

Here here on the XJ220. Damn, that thing is horrible.

 

[fbccars924]

This is more of an anorexic kid but the Ginetta G4. It's great fun when your on the track alone. But, with other racers it's a pita to drive.

 

[AlexGTV]

Most Mercs. Too much weight hurts their handling. No immediacy, too much calculated driving sucks.

*sigh* I wanna check a lot of stuff out you guys are doing, but I'm too addicted to GT5. Next time I fire up a GT4 game, I'll try and remember tho.

 

[Da_Crazy_Driver]

heck no....not my OPTION Stream Z, thats my drift car


i think the Cizeta, it sucks at turning corners

 

[n1nj4ofshr3d]

RUF CTR Yellow Bird, more of an ADHD kid, 'cause it can't stay on the course.

HA!!!!! Thats really funny

Tuned redeems itself. If you don't forget early braking, it has much torque that smokes the competition in the straights. You don't outbrake 'em, you hunt them down. Plus looks good on the replays.

 

[Parnelli Bone]

You know I just wanna say I don't know how other countries are, but in America, sometimes the fat kid doesn't always get chosen last. Especially in football.

 

[fbccars924]

^ I was. lmao, Then again I have adhd and would get distracted easily. also, didnt help when the cheerleaders were out. but, back on topic, Yellow Bird(BTR also) isn't adhd, we are it takes alot of concentration(of which i have not) to drive and even more so when you add a wing.

 

[DKLion3s]

^... I don't think in GT4 it will allow adding a wing on any of the RUFs.

I agree with the MBs being on this list.

I reckon the Aston Martin Vanquish is good, got it round the Nurburgring faster than the RUF 34000S, and it's fun, so I don't think it's a fat kid, because it doesn't look funny (just sayin, it might just be the Aston lover in me coming out)

The BTR, Yellow Bird and the RGT i know for sure you can add a wing

 

[DKLion3s]

I'll have to give that a try fbccars. I just remember trying it once and it wouldn't allow me to add it to any of the RUFs.

 

[fbccars924]

If it doesnt let you theyres something wrong with your game
